Spiced Coffee Cookies with Caramel-Vanilla Glaze

Spiced Coffee Cookies With Caramel Vanilla Glaze are tender and delicious with a soft and gooey caramel. These cookies are like a delicious coffee latte.

When John and I got married, he was fresh out of college. He returned to his summer job knowing that it would end in September. We were living on love and certain that a job would come knocking on our door.Come October, John was unemployed even though he had tried all summer to find something permanent. There wasn’t much in the job ads so John took to the phone book and started making cold calls. As luck would have it, he found a company that had just started thinking of expanding its agronomy division. John got the job, and this month celebrates his 35th anniversary.

To celebrate, I sent him off to work with these cookies. He works with some wonderful people, and I like to send them treats once in a while. I needed something special, and after a couple taste tests, I got John’s approval.

First I made the Spiced Coffee cookies. They were good, but were just “brown”. They needed an anniversary flair so I decided to add a vanilla drizzle. I was putting my ingredients together, and it came to me that caramel would compliment the cookie so, of course, I did both!

One warning, you had better have a drink to go with these cookies. They are moist, tender and delicious, but they are also a mouthful. The caramel will set, but it stays soft, gooey and so good. These cookies are like a delicious coffee latte.

Spoon hot caramel over cooled cookies. When cooled, the caramel will set and be difficult to spoon.

Vanilla Glaze

In a glass bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Add remaining ingredients and mix on low until blended. Turn on high and blend for another minute or until smooth. Drizzle with a fork, piping bag or a squeeze bottle. Allow to set.

Now you know how I love a good cookie right? Here are a couple more that I can’t live without!

You are correct Mimi! They are family owned and do a lot for their employees. There's not much dedication left in the corporate world any more. Employees don't stay more than 5 years, and corporations want less people to do more work. Cookies may be the answer? We all need more cookies!

Thank you Debbie! They let us be a family and enjoy kids activities so it was a great place to be while raising out family. Too many corporations now days think they own you and don't care how you manage your family. These cookies are delicious! I would love one on your deck with a cup of java!

These cookies look like they would melt in your mouth, Julie! I absolutely love all of the flavors you have incorporated into them. Cookies with frosting are one of my weaknesses. Congratulations to your husband on 35 years. That is amazing!

I need to make stuff with coffee more. These look perfect! I love coffee and coffee flavor, yet somehow always forget that they are usually good in baked goods. I don't know why. So thanks for reminding me. I wish I could have some now!

What a perfect combination - your cookies kept getting better and better with each addition. Congrats to John - that's amazing that one phone call changed your lives for the better :) Happy Halloween - are you handing out treats?
